Question

If m< DBG=58 and mDG =74 , find mGE

Answer 1

Option D: mGE = 190°

Explanation:

From the property of angles of secant and tangent lines, we have:

DBG = (mGE - mDG)/2

(That is, the angle in point B is half the difference of the larger arc by the smaller arc defined by the lines)

So, we have that:

58 = (mGE - 74)/2

2*58 = mGE - 74

mGE = 116 + 74 = 190°

So we have that mGE is equal to 190°, correct option: D.
